Why not? It's the only time in your life where you can wear one without looking ridiculous. :o)

I made this one for a dear friend of ours when she got married. She wore her hair in a tussled (sp?) updo with the crown sitting around it. It looks fantastic with her dark hair.

I am going to make a much smaller crown. A little princess crown to sit on top of my head. In silver. Maybe with some filigree roses. Maybe with some flush set stones... I haven't completely decided on how it will look. I have a couple of sketches but I am not ready to share them with you just yet..

To maybe explain the whole crown thing I should mention that it is an old tradition in Sweden for a bride to wear a crown. My brothers wife wore one and she looked so beautiful.

I just have to figure out how it will work with a veil and all.. So much to take in consideration. I definitely do not want to look like I am going to a costume party dressed up like a princess!

I'd love to hear what you guys looked like when you got married :o)
puss & kram (kiss & hug in swedish)
